	With this article is a picture of "Uncle Jason".
Here is the article in it's entirety from the 
"Laurel River Association of KY. Baptists" 

                        Jason B. Evans 

   Jason B. Evans was born December 19, 1844. Died June 27, 1936. 
He was better known and generally called "Uncle Jason". He was twice 
married. His first wife, four daughters and one son preceded him 
to the grave. His last wife, three children and approximately 
seventy-five grand and great-grandchildren with a great host of 
friends mourn his death. 
   He joined the Liberty Baptist church more than 70 years ago. In 
1896 when East Pittsburg Baptist church was constituted, he was one 
of the charter members and remained a faithful member until God said, 
"Your work is done," and took him home. He was ever ready with his 
time, his money and his means for the support of his church, his pastor, 
evangelist, sick, poor and needy, or anyone in distress. 
   He had been feeble for a few years, but would take his cane and go 
to church until only a few months before his going. 
   East Pittsburg church has lost a faithful member; Laurel River  
Association a regular and useful messenger; but we hope to meet him 
around the Great White Throne in Heaven. 
  
That is the entire article and there is no date for it but I believe 
it was printed soon after his death.
